Concerning the steering of 107-TC, unfortunately we have no car in France belonging to the Company fitted with a .720 lead nut, which would permit such an experiment. What do you suggest under these circumstances? I am afraid the fitting of 1500 lbs. springs to the side steering tube will increase the want of selectivity, but it is not a long experiment, and I will try this out and let you know. Ps. | ||
